The importance of speed to clinic for medicines that may address unmet medical needs puts pressure on product development timelines. Historically, both toxicology and first-in-human clinical materials are generated using the same clonal-derived cells to ensure safety and minimize any development risks. However, cell line development with single cell cloning is time consuming, and aggravated by the time needed to screen for a lead clone based on cell line stability and manufacturability. In order to achieve faster timelines, we have used pools of up to six clones for earlier production of drug substance for regulatory filing-enabling toxicology studies, and then the final single clone was selected for production of clinical materials. This approach was enabled by using platform processes across all stages of early development, including expression vectors, host cell lines, media, and production processes. Through comprehensive cell culture and product quality analysis, we demonstrated that the toxicology material was representative of the clinical material for all six monoclonal antibody programs evaluated. Our extensive development experience further confirmed that using a pool of clones for toxicology material generation is a reliable approach to shorten the early development timeline.
